Please note: We have two 'Overnighter' sites these are instant book for weary travelers and not meant as full on camping sites. Site 1 and site 2 or Antelope please refrain from booking unless you are traveling through - All other camp sites require a minimum of 24 hours notice this allows for getting the sites ready - so if you want to camp here please note this requirement If you are traveling w a bumper pull of any type you need to book Big Rig ( soon to be named Art Camp) this is our only pull through camp site all others only tiny teardrops, cassettes, tents, vans, cars, or cab overs. Bobcat is great for tents, cars, vans, small trucks, no bumper pulls Camping here is low activity experience as in there is hiking up in the National Forest or just hanging out in your camp site, or bring your camera, notebook and binoculars, or road bike. When you come to camp here you are on a farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes. If you would like fresh veggies contact Prema Farm one day BEFORE arrival - Please come visit in April May and June it is some of the most green and lush times in the high desert. It can also bring snow, winds, and rain. Be prepared- look at the forecast and contact me directly if you have concerns SKEETERS are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth. Welcome It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more. At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses, gardens in the process of creation, snakes, bugs, ticks, and wild animals. As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

This is a perfect spot for an easy Tahoe trip. I like that it had everything I could ever need including a washer and dryer. Super helpful. It was extremely clean and the bed was crazy comfortable. Would definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

Stunning off grid property! Very communicative host when questions arose. As we drove out to the property, a fire started on a mountain nearby and our host assured us that we were going to be safe. Had a really cool opportunity to watch first responders fight the fire and even had a fire helicopter coming to pick up water out of the lake behind the property owners house. Stayed in the Tiny Blue and it was comfortable, but given the time of year, there wasn’t much of a breeze at night, so it did get extremely hot inside even with the windows open. Had access to a tiny kitchen and compost toilet right next to our site. We were next to a beautiful pond with a nice walking trail going around it. Saw all kinds of birds (lots of quail) muskrats, frogs, dragonflies. Very safe and welcoming place!

This is a lovely, biodiverse landscape full of wildlife and plants. The smell of sagebrush fills the air and the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful! The Tiny Blue was a sweet little glamping spot! It was nice to not have to pull out my tent and camping gear. Wendy is an awesome host! She was very friendly and welcoming. I would stay here again. 😊

Happy hour at the pond outside Tiny Blue

A quiet, relaxing spot …we loved sitting at the happy hour spot by the pond just outside of Tiny Blue, watching the wildlife, listening to the countless birds and bullfrogs, watching the sky. Kitchen facility & clean, composting toilet are very close to Tiny Blue as well. Enjoyed stretching our legs around the property after a long drive. Property is a short drive off I80 between Sparks & Reno but feels pleasantly remote. Thank you, Wendy!

Weekend Trip to Honey Hill Tahoe Farm

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here! The property is beautiful, incredibly comfortable, and Tod and Amy have taken the time to make the space very peaceful. The accommodations were spotless, and they provided everything we could possibly need for a perfect getaway. Tod and Amy are really welcoming and even shared some delicious treats with us. Their dogs, Blizzard and Stella, were also so sweet. We loved walking the property with our own dog and really enjoyed learning more about the bees, visiting the greenhouses, and saying hi to the chickens. The location is a huge plus! You are completely out in nature with all the privacy, and yet it is an easy 15 to 20 minute drive to Downtown Truckee. From there, we easily explored the area for rafting, hiking, Donner Lake, and Lake Tahoe. Everything is a very convenient drive away. Highly recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Village Camp Truckee

Absolutely best family experience I’ve ever had!! This was glamping to the max! We stayed in the modern “cabin” tiny home and honestly, the highlight was the high thread count of the sheets and bedding! So luxurious! And they said pet friendly they meant it. Our little pug was welcomed with open arms and we had such a good experience. Some places will say a pet friendly, but then add all these hidden fees and rules. Not this place. Straight forward pet deposit and rules. We stayed for Memorial Day weekend and they had so many family fun events for free! Bbq, live music, bounce house. Truly a wonderful community and paradise. We are even looking to buy into the cabin for the summer. Now let’s get into location. Perfectly located in the summer or winter months whether you are heading to Reno to scooter along the river walk, hit up the waterpark in sparks, or head to kings beach to winter wonderland proximity to snow parks and resorts. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend!! Oh and let’s not forget about the coffee pods and fire pit and free books to relax….truly amazing!!!

Flyte and Sparrow is such a special place. We came here for the first time in November and already returned one month later in December. Tiny Blue is a lovely, cozy little getaway. It’s incredibly insulated and we were perfectly comfortable and warm each night. Some of our highlights from our trip were simply just being on the land. Cooking a meal in the beautiful kitchen, watching the dramatic sunsets each night, trying to figure out the different grazing patterns of the cows, feeding Geiger the llama bananas, and conversations with Wendy. Wendy is so wonderful, warm and welcoming, and we loved each conversation, cherishing each tidbit of wisdom. Thank you Wendy for the eggs and the beautiful welcome card! There is also a forest right behind the property which was absolutely gorgeous. In November, we took a four-wheel drive up to a fire lookout which was a stunning viewpoint, and when we returned in December, the ground was already blanketed in snow. It was magical, especially watching the community come together to cut down their Christmas tree. We are looking forward to returning throughout the different seasons

This is an incredible property with an incredible host! I camped at Willow springs, and really enjoyed the lushness of the willows, the privacy, and watching the Beavers, Owls and Hawks. I also stayed a week in Tiny Blue which was a little slice of heaven!! I loved all the books, the view and it was super comfy! The tiny kitchen and bathroom nearby were absolutely perfect and I didn't need to leave the property for anything for many days. Wendy is so enthusiastic and hands on, you can really tell she loves what she does and has built a beautiful sanctuary for artists, writers, creative types and those that are in need of some sanctuary. I Especially encourage women who are Solo camping to spend some time at this beautiful location! I can't wait to come back next year!🌀

I loved staying at Tiny Blue! The solace was much needed and the space is comfortable with incredible views. The beaver pond is very sweet and the resident llama is awesome. Wendy gave very clear directions and is available if anything comes up. There’s even an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit! I will be staying here again!

Fantastic tiny cabin with a view of the sun set on the western hills, a pond, and beavers in it. Host is charming, super helpful, and knowledgable with exquisite and funky taste. The cabin made me smile. Can't recommend this Hipcamp location more.

We loved staying at Wendy’s Tiny Blue! She was so kind and hospitable. Cute and cozy with a gorgeous view of surrounding mountains and fields. Loved the outdoor shower and sitting by the firepit watching all the wildlife around the pond. If you’re a fellow birdwatcher you’ll absolutely love it - lots of bullfrogs and a beaver to see too!

I can’t speak highly enough of the tiny Blue. Perfect setting; perfect hostess; perfectly kind llama and the sweetest farm dog west of the Mississippi. I left a piece of my heart with the birds on those ponds and I hope to retrieve it someday.
